Oh Joy! I placed my order on the Web Sunday night and got it in the mail today. Thanks, BrightGuy and Priority mail for such a fast turnaround. I'm going caving this weekend in W VA (OTR) and figured there was no way I'd get my new lights in time.
The Arc is a great light, I'm really impressed with the quality and brightness. Peter put a lot of thought into this light, rather than just producing another "me too" light. It's brighter than my Photon and I even put new batteries in the photon last week. I never intended to buy another single LED light, but after stumbling across the great reviews on Brock's page I followed all the links until I descovered Craigs page and this website. Also Peter has a great website with lots of information and links about his product. I wish other websites had this much info. If Arc ofers this in a silver finish I'm going to order another one and maybe some more as gifts, saving the best one for myself of course
The "Attitude" is Princeton Tec's new 3 white LED light housed inside a Rage body. It's a scortcher too, puts the Matrix to shame. Not a whole lot of info on there web page but check it out here. http://www.ptsportlights.com/outdoor_attitude.html
Hold on a second while I compare it to the Petzl Tikka.
OK I'm Back:
I didn't have enough new AAA alkaline batteries to go around so the Attitude gets NiMh and the Tikka gets Walmart brand Alkalines. Even with rechargable batteries the Attitude is a bit brighter. Of course it does have one extra battery. The one I bought has a green translucent case which glows when the light is on. Cool looking at first but kind of annoying if your using it in your hand. Since this will be mounted on my helmet it won't be a problem and my caving buddies will be able to spot me from behind.
Anyway you can get them both at Bright Guy which I'm am very satisfied with! (This is not a paid advertisement and I am not affiliated with Bright guy in any way, but I will gladly accept bribes (say another Arc.) I think it's cool they charge actual shipping costs!
